This video is about how to apply fake nails like a pro – it is a simple step-by-step video guide that will teach you everything you need to know about making your nails look pretty! The tutorial actually starts at the two minute mark. The instructor begins by suggesting a set of inexpensive acrylic nails that, she adds, can even be reused if you keep them in good condition! Next, jump at the 3 minutes 40 seconds mark where she shows you the result that you will get after following her tutorial. Keep in mind that you don’t need to use the exact same set of nails that she does in order to complete this guide, the technique is the same regardless of what set you use!

She starts by taking a nail buffer and using it to file the top of her nails. Don’t use a nail file as they are too rough for this. If you have long nails, file them down into shape after you use the buffer. She them shows the fake nails that she will use. At this point she gives a great tip for picking out the right size for your nails – place the fake nail on and check the edges. If there is a gap, the nail is probably too small and you should use another one. She then goes for the next size which sits properly. She places the nail on the side and repeats the steps for all of her fingers.

She then takes the nail glue and applies it on firmly from one side to another. It’s important to apply only a light coat and not overdo it. The next step is to put the nail on before the glue dries. She holds the fake nail in place for a few seconds. This process needs to be repeated for all the nails. As she adds, it is a very easy and fun process that only takes a couple of minutes to do. You can also add stickers if you wish. The fake nails that she uses last for about a week, even more! Another important point that she makes is that you have to be careful not to get glue on top of the design because it’s very hard to take it off!
